The shark analogy is pretty bad math. It actually demonstrates the point you go on to make later, that twisting statistics without context allows you to say just about anything you want it to. For one, the stunningly low probability you arrive at for shark attack is inaccurate if viewed without proper context. There are numerous... infinitely more vending machines than sharks in the city, and far more dogs too. There are also more cars. The probability of a shark attack would be vastly higher if you only looked at people who happened to be at the beach. It would be astronomically higher if you only took into account swimmers who happen to see a shark. Using stats in this way to reduce our worries is fine but we shouldn't use them to reduce credible threats to below the risk of a falling vending machine should we be in a position to be exposed to them Also the probability of death on a motorcycle is certainly higher than that of a car, unless you're not accounting for the fact that there are many many more drivers than riders... And I'm fairly certain that if the chances of death in car was 1% every time you drive, nobody would want to drive at all... You'd clock 200 trips a year easy, making 1%a virtual certainly Obviously the probability of a plane crash is low per trip. Just as the probability of a car crash is also low... PER TRIP. If you're comparing probability of death per flight with probability of death for the average driver who logs hundreds of trips a year for his lifetime... I'd say you're an airplane rep trying to sell flight tickets
My favorite paradox is the Astley paradox. If you ask Rick Astley for his copy of the movie "Up", he can't give it to you because he will never give you up. However, in doing so, he lets you down. Thus creating the Astley paradox.
I’ve always wondered when people talk about the odds of being eaten by a shark… are they taking into account only the people that swim in the ocean or are they counting everyone in the world? Because I would imagine those are two VERY different statistics.
Same i also wonder with the "you're more likely to die in a car accident vs plane" probably has something to do with the fact so many more people are driving on a daily basis than flying.
@@hirsutuscanis well there’s over 100k flights a day. While it’s nowhere near as many drivers, there’s still a significant number of reasons why it’s safer. *Regulation and Standards:* The aviation industry is highly regulated, with strict safety standards set by aviation authorities. This ensures that aircraft, pilots, maintenance procedures, and airlines all adhere to rigorous safety protocols. *Pilot Training and Experience:* Pilots undergo extensive training and simulations before they can operate commercial flights. They are trained to handle a wide range of situations, and their experience contributes to safe decision-making in complex scenarios. *Maintenance:* Aircraft maintenance is meticulous and routine. Planes undergo regular inspections, repairs, and upgrades to ensure they remain in top condition. Strict maintenance schedules help identify and rectify potential issues before they become problems. *Air Traffic Control:* Air traffic controllers manage and guide flights, ensuring safe separation and efficient routing of aircraft. This minimizes the risk of collisions and helps pilots navigate safely. *Advanced Technology:* Aircraft are equipped with advanced navigation, communication, and safety systems that enhance situational awareness and aid in safe operations. These technologies are continuously evolving to further improve safety. *Learning from Accidents:* The aviation industry closely studies accidents and incidents to identify root causes and implement corrective measures. This culture of learning from mistakes helps prevent similar issues in the future. *Risk Management:* Airlines and aviation authorities actively manage risks associated with flying. This includes factors like weather, maintenance, pilot fatigue, and security. Procedures and protocols are in place to mitigate these risks. *Crew Resource Management:* Flight crews are trained in effective communication and teamwork, which are crucial for handling emergencies and unexpected situations. *Inherent Nature of Flight:* Flying at higher altitudes reduces the risk of collisions with obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles that can occur on roads. Additionally, the controlled environment of airports and airspaces contributes to safety. Despite all this, I’m still scared of flying lol.
One paradox I believe in is when you're a good driver but then a police car gets behind you and that makes you nervous and drive poorly, then you get pulled over because you were nervous about getting pulled over.
My daughter went to Montessori elementary and they taught that instead of having a huge corner of toys or a room of toys for your child you should bring out 4 at a time for a few days and then rotate with another 4. It really works!… your child will play with them rather than letting them collect dust because of too many choices where it cancels all of them out👍🏼🌎☀️💙
This is so peaceful to me for some reason. Honestly I’ve been listening to this on and off over the last few days. I listen while I’m taking a quick nap during my busy schedule. For some reason, it calms me down. It grounds me. I’m not sure the meaning of life. When I was a teenager I would have said Jesus. As a 31 year old man I don’t really have an answer anymore. Not knowing is scary and grounding all at the same time. And knowing other people feel like me is also comforting. Anyway. Thanks.
There is a fallacy early on in this video whereby it talks about sharks and the statistics of there being more chances of being killed by a dog but we keep them around etc and how this equals to how we are irrational creatures, not at all, this is a fallacy, let me explain. It is absolutely crucial to look at exposure time to humans of the said species and than compare the number of attacks. we will quickly see the total human exposure to sharks vs dogs is 100 percent land slide win for dogs and than compare the number of attacks within that time and you will quickly find sharks are significantly more prone to attacks.

The odds of certain things happening to you depend on contributing factors. In the instance of being struck 7 times by lightning the likelihood for the average person is quite low but in the instance of the guy who was struck 7 times there were factors that made it much more likely. He had a job that had him working in open fields in an area where lightening storms are more prevalent. When it comes to shark attacks the odds are again quite low but if you’re an abalone diver or a surfer who surfs at a beach without shark nets and is the habitat known for sharks, such as Cottlesloe Beach Western Australia, the odds skyrocket. It all depends on the location and the frequency of exposure to danger with the likelihood occurring. It’s how insurance companies come up with the cost of premiums and how risk assessments are done in risk management.
that i think tells for some of it, but definitely not all. you could predict a lot with numbers and statistics. but i never much cared for statistics in school, that’s all they are, statistics. sure if u swim in the ocean u have a higher likelihood to get eaten by a shark i guess, but i’ve lived at the beach my whole life and never met a soul who has. some things can be concluded about being in the wrong place could make you more likely to get struck by lighting or eaten by a shark, but within that there’s so mathematical stability, no predictability.
Yes of course but I think the odds are mostly taking into account the fact that most likely anything else can happen then being attacked by a shark, bc for instance think about all the kids in the Midwest inner cities. A lot would most likely never die or be attacked by a shark orrr say plane crash bc they almost never leave their home town. Not to travel or ever even see the ocean. If that makes sense lol? I could be wrong but that’s my make of it
I used to work in a hospital as a care assistant. Towards the end of the covid pandemic i took care of a polish man who was 102 years old at the time, luckily he escaped poland a few weeks before the nazis occupied his home town he ended up in England and found work as an air craft maintenance engineer he asked if he could learn to fly a plane and his request was granted and eventually he ended up flying combat sorties over the channel, on his last sortie his plane was hit and began leaking fuel but luckily did not catch fire he had to ditch in the English channel but again luckily he was close enough to the shore that he was able to make it back and a local family who seen his plane go down from the beach ran to help him, very lucky guy, and at the age of 102 he walked with out a stick, could tie shoe laces could hear fine and only needed glasses for reading and managed to shrug off covid-19 with no need for oxygen therapy or anti virals i think he must be the luckiest guy i have ever met

For Those People Who Say "I Want Aperture To Upload More" To That I Say, "Quality Over Quantity" Cause if you see this very often, not edited very well it wouldn't last. You Would Get Bored And Forget About This. However an upload in a month that is fantastic written and edited is going to cause need, and you would be waiting for another video. If you understand what I'm trying to say, Basically I'm Telling You, Yes You Right There. Love Every Second. ❤ And Love your self.
People just want more of that quality. There’s nothing wrong with that. They haven’t said, “Hey, Aperture, please slop out many more scripts and make slopped out videos from them with sloppy editing.” It’s all a matter of people craving more of the quality that you speak of, not just quantity from Aperture just to have more from him to watch. Wanting more definitely doesn’t mean any one of us wants just anything in video form that has “Aperture” stamped on it. It’s the quality we want more of; not the quantity.
I see your comment, and it has been roughly 8 months since it was posted. I just wanted to say, I hope you are doing better, and that this time passing has not got you down. You are in my thoughts, and I wish you well!
"The odds are always low but never zero." One minute later : "Well since there are around 2000 billionaires, the odds of you becoming one is... Non existent." Damn, you don't have to do my self esteem like that.
You can fit 1 million US dollars in hundred dollar bills in a duffle bag weighing around 25lbs. Hearing young people say they wanna be a billionaire shows how disconnected we have become as a species. Completely out of balance with nature and spirituality. Love is real. Money only represents debt. For one to have so much only means so many more people are in debt they will never dig themselves out from. A certain story talks about someone dying for our sins when he actually dies because he called for the money exchangers to be ousted from society.

The only thing irrational about the average persons fear of the government is that it’s not proportional to the danger they actually pose to you. If being rational is important to you then you’re going to need to increase your level of fear to a crippling level
When you are observing someone in secret, dont look directly at them until shortly before you intend to take action. Look slightly to the side of them so you can still see them, but they are out of your focal point. If you look directly at someone, they will notice they are being watched. This applies to animals as well.
One thing to ask yourself is ,”what will I be doing exactly one year to the minute you ask yourself this question. “ . Then look back one year ago and the difference between them. Feel your reaction deep inside and use that information to help make decisions.
There was a waterfall near us, such a lovely thin streak of water, like a thread but white and moving. It fell from a great height, but it looked quite low, and it was half a mile away, though it did not seem fifty paces. I loved to listen to it at night, but it was then that I became so restless. Sometimes I went and climbed the mountain and stood there in the midst of the tall pines, all alone in the terrible silence, with our little village in the distance, and the sky so blue, and the sun so bright, and an old ruined castle on the mountain-side, far away. I used to watch the line where earth and sky met, and longed to go and seek there the key of all mysteries, thinking that I might find there a new life, perhaps some great city where life should be grander and richer--and then it struck me that life may be grand enough even in a prison.
‘If your friends turned their backs on you, it’s fine, there millions of people out there like you.’ That hit me hard and healed me… I’ve been stuck in darkness scared of people may hurt me… but I really want to make friends again :’( and I think that my fashion business and writing (which were my dreams and I finally made them true as I survived homelessness), then I pray to the universe to surround me with good people😔 if people feel depressed and stuck feel free to check ‘The Homeless Photographer’ my book I recently self-publisbed, all I want is to bring as many people I can up with me 🙏🏼
This video made me feel great and also tiny at the same time. Everything feels less important when you really think about it. Best subscription on TH-cam for a long time. Keep it up!
Feeling insignificant than feeling good about that sounds irrational. In what world is no purpose for our suffering a good thing. In your world view, you live and die for nothing. Sounds like paradise. Lol
@slm8263 Not true at all. You don't disappear when you die. That is an assumption athiests make. You either go to heaven or the other place. God exists whether you believe it or not. And there's evidence. If you want the evidence, look it up. Or ask me.
This video motivates me to keep doing what brings me joy with every breath. Being kind, while brutally transparent is what freedom feels like. I am extremely lucky to be in this life I've been given/created for myself. My family, friends, and partner are not "perfect." Neither am I. It's a beautiful thing to finally be on the other side of depression. All the clichés about knowing yourself first are true. But we are constantly adjusting and revising ourselves. I try to give myself and others more grace because none of us are finished products. Most things are subjective. So figure out what you care about, rather than following another person's beliefs. Look for the common thread in your joyful moments.
Fun fact about the 1:225 odds of writing a best seller; authors often buy a big amount of their own books as a marketing strategy in order to get labeled as a best seller.
The subject of less being better in regard to options/choices is so true. Any time I have a very large number of options to choose from in regard to anything, it overwhelms me to the point that I have a very difficult time choosing between the options. Any time I am in the store and I’m standing in the cereal aisle, men’s shampoo aisle, men’s stick deodorant section, condiment section, etc., etc., it absolutely overwhelms me and I just want to grab something adequate and pay for my selections and get out. After trying to weigh all the options by quality of product, taste or fragrance, and other attributes of whatever I’m trying to choose, I just get to a point where I stop caring so much about those attributes and just get foggy in my mind. That is when I finally give up and just, as I said before, grab something approximating the best for me and then I hurry to pay and leave so I can clear my mind. Then I’m immediately met with the overwhelming amount of choices in regard to what restaurant I want to stop at and purchase food. So it just goes on and on and on. When I was a child back in the very late 60’s and all through the 70’s, there definitely weren’t so many choices for all the different products that all of us need and buy, including food and clothing. This is why the HUGE big box stores exist now and they didn’t exist back then. The world has drastically changed since the 60’s and 70’s and, of course, there are countless reasons why that is a good thing. More choices is always better because more choices means more abundance and more specialized resources and products are available to the masses. But there is a tipping point that we reached a long time ago on which the number of choices of most all products became overwhelming and disconcerting. A trip to the grocery store just isn’t what it used to be. The overabundance of choices is good in some ways and terrible in other ways, just as I said above and the video pointed out. So much is so stressful to have to deal with and even the simplest decisions have become very stressful and difficult because the number of choices is just too many. I’m incredibly thankful that I live in a place where everything is abundant and there are MANY choices, but the tipping point was reached a long time ago and the stress level in so many people is such that it has caused the majority of people to lose their inner peace and they don’t even realize it.
Analysis paralysis almost destroyed my life. I couldn't make any choices regarding my career or education for a long time. Then I had kids, which forced me to get a job, any job ASAP, which cured my paralysis and things started going up for the first time.
I think you may be a bit neurotic if having choices actually stresses you out. It's nice to have an abundance of choices. Although It's a lot easier to shop when you already know what you want to purchase. So make your decisions on what you want to purchase while you're at home and it'll save you from the stress of having to choose from so many choices on the spot. It'll also keep you from impulsive purchases that you may regret.
1st world problems... Just do your research on a product and don't be lazy; you'll know what to choose. Better than the socialist bread lines in the country I was born in.
One of the first realizations that hit me young was my mortality. My life was finite. I had my first existential crisis when I was 3. I didn't want to waste one second yet everything felt like a waste of time. I cried in school because I was wasting my life. I didn't want to work. I couldn't stand waiting or being patient. I always multitasked. I never wanted to delay gratification or be anything when I grew up. I've never been happy because my life is limited. Nothing has ever been worth work or effort. I never related to anyone. Just lived my life in a panic. It's unfortunate that my life has been pretty crappy ever since I knew I would die. I've never been able to really live.
Loved this. Reminded me intensely of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior which was my favorite book as a kid. The "House Rules" were Paradox, Humor, and Change. Thank you for making a wonderful video.😊
One paradox I never hear anyone talk about is the saying "there's an exception to every rule." That phrase is also a rule, therefore there must an exception to it. So then there is a rule without exception, which means there can't be an exception to every rule. The same applies if you say "nothing is true" or "everything is false"
Our fears of something are rational though, for instance, in the video you said you’re more likely to get killed by a dog than you are a shark, but that’s because the ratio of humans around dogs and humans around sharks are drastically different. Ratios have many factors, you’re only considering one side.
You’re misunderstanding statistics and probabilities. So say you have 1 in 100 chance of dying to a bee sting. That doesn’t mean there is a 1 in 100 chance of dying to a bee sting during your daily life. That’s out of 100 bee stings, an average of 1 will typically kill you. I don’t feel like getting the exact numbers he used but if he said you have a 1/10 chance to die by dog and a 1/100 chance to die by shark, that doesn’t mean you’re more likely to die by a dog during your day to day life. That means if you were attacked by a dog, one out of every 10 attacks has a chance to kill you. For the sharks it would be 1/100 attacks would kill you. By default the statists are excluding people who don’t encounter the things he’s giving odds on. Saying you have a higher chance of dying by dog has nothing to do with the amount of people who come into contact with dogs.
@@TheSCPStudio thats nonsense. the numbers alone make that impossible. there is no way to have a chance of 1 in a million when there have not even been a million incidents of whatever that probability is assigned to. there have barely been any commercial plane crashes, but almost all of them have been fatal for all or most people on the plane, and the total number of people being subjected to a plane crash is small. probability alone means nothing, it requires tons or dependent variables to be checked and this, along with the methodology, needs to be carefully documented and logically analysed for inductive reasoning to have any meaning. you could make studies that "prove" anything, no matter how absurd, just by controlling the sample group and by determining correlating variables that logically do not correlate, and leaving the important ones out. thats one of the ways how academia manages to lie effortlessly.
I had a small piece of paper under my desk mat in my room in 6th grade that read, “if you want peace, prepare for war.” because of a history teacher I had.

I believe that paradoxes in nature are currently the most logical place to study if we want to progress our understanding of the universe. They haunt every field consistently, fields which are not always consistent or compatible with each other besides their share of unwanted paradoxes.
a paradox just indicates a logical error. there are no paradoxes, if you find one, your premise or setup is false. paradoxes come about by confusing language or false assumptions, which lead to false expectations.
I belong here with you. This type of content makes me feel happy. Because there are still decent amounts of people that value the meaninglessness of life and the abstract lives we live...
That meaninglessness is a gift. The ambiguity of reality allows us to project our own meaning and purpose, the ultimate "sandbox" game. The freewill we experience, even if limited, is another gift, which allows us to choose that meaning. The illusion of Freewill is paradoxically, the only possible expression of it, and can therefore be treated as true.
@@TheMoopMonster what's interesting is free will is actually pretty limited physically. The human body is pretty fragile. But, we have so much influence on our mind. We can perceive the world however we want even if it's not an accurate representation of reality
to be fair though, if I lived in the sea with a pet shark, instead of living in a house with a pet dog, my chances of being killed by a shark compared to my chances of being killed by a dog might get reversed
If you were in an area where there are sharks and went into the ocean for 8 hrs a day everyday compared to living in an area that has dangerous dogs around and you were outside for 8 hours everyday I think the chances of dying from a shark is more likely because of the damage it could inflict?
@@chriswise7978 I really don't know. I've seen some pretty horrendous injuries dogs have caused. I also know that sharks don't actually like eating people and tend to only bite people by mistake when they mistake a human for animal they actually like eating.

@@chriswise7978 I don't doubt it was awful and I'm sorry you went through such a horrific and terrifying thing. I'm sorry if it came across as if I was belittling the horror of shark bites. That wasn't my intention. I only meant to say that we generally tend to assume that dogs are pretty harmless, or at least incapable of serious damage, and that sharks are cold blooded killers at any opportunity and, from a purely factual point of view, neither of those assumptions are true. From factual information I have heard, sharks don't intentionally attack humans, they mistake us for something else like a seal, but that doesn't mean the bites are any less devastating when they do bite so I apologize if I came across as insensitive. I hope you are recovering as well as possible from your injuries

Live your life and don't take it too seriously. Don't compare your experience with anyone else's. We exist like the blink of an eye. Everything matters but the paradox is that simultaneously, nothing really matters. Edit: my personal philosophy is that life isn't about me. And it never has been. It's collective in nature and while we are granted to be here, we need to be good. Only a very small percentage of people actually do anything to induce progress in our species.
no thats postmodern marxist bullshit. you should take life seriously, you should take yourself seriously, and everything matters. and you should live life to serve a greater purpose in order to give your life a meaning.

The options paradox is really relatable to me as a gamer. When I have so many games installed, I want to play everything til I end up not playing anything at all. Compared to when I only have a few games installed I tend to focus on them and finish them quicker
The problem with these probabilities you give is it depends on your lifestyle. If i surf everyday, I am more likely to be attacked by a shark because I put myself in that situation. If i never enter the ocean in my life then there is an extremely small percentage chance that I ever get attacked/killed by a shark. Same with lighting, if i spend all day in my house my chances are lowered. How is one going to accurately measure these probabilities.
This is true, but when you take your data points from as many lifestyles as possible and average them, the statistics generated are generally still relevant to the average person, and understanding people as a whole.

The only thing that seperates real life from a dream is that in a dream when you go lucid and you intend to experience something, it just appears immediately. In Finding Nemo, Marlin loses his son. He is caught by a fisherman uh or a scientist and he's like taken away on a boat and the point of the movie is that we're trying to find Nemo. That's what Marlin wants to find. His son. Now the problem here is that Marlin doesn't know how to find his son but he just knows Beyond The Shred of a doubt that he's going to find his son because he's a dad and he lost his only son. So his whole life he knows for a fact, his heart and his mind have come into Union, they've both agreed that 100% we're going to find our son but I don't know how. So this is the same for you with your goal. You want something 100% for sure without a doubt but I don't know how I'm going to get it. That's okay normally you don't have to know how to get something. All you need to know is the first step. This is exactly how reality creation works. You hold your goal (P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney) in your mind and then you trust that the universe is going to take you there in its own mysterious way. Trust the universe that it's going to bring you to your goal but you won't know how. On the surface it's going to seem like everything is falling apart but once you look back you're going to say oh I actually needed to go through that failure because now I'm successful but I couldn't have been successful without that failure. You say oh this is going to bring me to my goal and you just kind of affirm to yourself that the Universe looks out for me and that the universe is on my team and is helping me manifest what I want. You want to be like Dory. You want to have radical trust in the universe and you want to hold in your mind your vision. That's why she keeps repeating P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney over and over again. Hold your vision in mind and trust that whatever happens you're gonna be brought there.

It taught you how to not value life. Because saying people being less significant doesn't give more value to life. And people are not smart for thinking so.

I am 64, and I have never been attacked by a vending machine. But once in Florida, fish started jumping out of the water, and I made all the children get out of the water. They weren't happy. The next morning, we found out just a mile further up the beach a boy was attacked by a shark. I think the shark went right past us. I was also an animal shelter director and work for veterinarian for many years. I was attacked once but not killed. See, the shark is winning. 😊 Do not drink or drive at night. I am telling you this shark almost got us. I live on a lake, if fish are jumping, somethingn is chasing them.
He said a motorcycle rider is less likely to die in a crash than someone in a car. Motorcycle riders are 30 time more likely to die. The average person is less likely to die on a bike because few people ride motorcycles compared to cars. These details make all the difference. Google got it wrong too; but everyone, do better.
I find life beautiful and at the same time incredibly sad, and sometimes I wish I wasn’t born so that I wouldn’t have to experience all of this and be able to lose it all.
Ya know,.....EVERY time that someone says :"You Shouldn't be Alive" I'm tempted to blame my parents❤ Also, the odds of being killed by a vending machine ARE higher than the odds of being killed by a shark, but know this,.....you will NEVER be killed by a shark IN a vending machine,....so SMILE. YOU'RE A WINNER❤
What if it a broken at the bottom of the sea and your diving down to check it out and for some strange reason climb in it and get stuck and out the darkness a man eating shark has found dinner😀😀dave is now fish food.🙏
I really like those small breaks in this video, it just gives me an option to stop the video and just think about what you just said instead of overflowing my brain with too much information
It's my 3rd day being homeless, sleeping in an old office room in an abandoned building. It's a horrible existence. I really do wish I did not exist, or this was all just a dream. I want to wake from this hell.
The car crash one weirdly has brought me a little comfort even though the numbers as fairly high. I have severe PTSD with cars, car crashes, and death so this shows me it’s just as likely to happen to me as it is to anyone else.
I really liked the breakdown of how much of our 79-ish years of life are actually ours to enjoy... especially the last bit about multitasking meals with friends or enjoying a book or podcast on your commute and finding a career and friend group you actually enjoy. I'm 43 years old, I moved across 9 states last year, I'm placing my mom in a care home due to dementia and my inability to care for her at home alone after doing so for 18 years, I'm quitting 12 yrars at a job I hate with lazy, incompetent coworkers and taking a risk in a different industry, I have found a new friend group I really like and we go out twice a week (and many of them already work at my new workplace) I've struggled with depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation for over 35 years, but I'm finally feeling that my life is improving. So, long story short, I'm hoping to salvage at least a few of the 36-ish years I have left by enjoying my life more instead of thinking the only escape from my misery is taking the "final exit"
I had this terrible fear that as those years were all being subtracted that at some point it would cross the zero point and I would find that my life had actually gone into negative years and that I had never really existed [:- (
Thank you so very much for this incredible information that I knew. But some one have had to remind us from time to time. This video helped me to wake up even more. I watched it twice now and I’m going to come back and watch it again and again. One of the best videos! Thank you 😊.
30ish minutes in he started talking about concepts he mentioned earlier, although it felt a bit redundant, it was interesting to him hear him mention the Pinocchio 'paradox' and later have him talk about it for a bit Nice video, i really enjoyed the segment of breaking down how much 'free' time a person has in their life time, especially the latter half with the more positive tone!
When you talked about the absence of gravity etc in space I suddenly realized that my newest goal is the place myself in the exact place in the world where the gravity of earth meets the zero gravity of space. Just hope there isn’t a wall separating the two different atmospheres that doesn’t allow me to place my body half in each atmosphere but I’m afraid there must be or that wouldn’t work
I figured during college the exact idea you described of working on what you love, enjoy and makes me smile, and that is still my source of.happiness, I wake up almost every day with a smile. Heads up thou, if you work doing what you love under another person or company is the tricky part, because you will be giving more than what your job description includes, you will be very good at what you do, and will work extra time for free, and that is not right, do not overlook the worth of your work nor give it for free, many will try or succeed at taking advantage of a employee that loves what they do, and it is hard to realize sometimes when it is happening or had been happening for a long time.... Just trying to help others to protect the source of their happiness and share my case... Loved your video btw!
I was so captivated I watched this whole and even went back to understand it. I honestly think this gave me a better outlook on life.

@HoodieSardine ah biomedical has lots and lots of room for growth. Making assistive devices would also be quite rewarding too. One thing I would like to do would be engineer biocompatible grafting materials so tissue could bind seamlessly with metal, ceramics, or even other biological tissues. For example making a cermet (metal ceramic composition) dental implant that the gum and bone both grow into forming a secure bond that will last a lifetime. 🤔

I spent twenty years in school but i loved it. I got to learn so many different things. Now that I fully graduated I kind of hate it and love it. lol I love it because I don’t have to think so hard, and I hate it because I don’t have to think so hard. So I truly get it.
I had a psychedelic trip where the main message I got was that everything is a paradox. It took me years to really understand it but eventually i did. God I love mushrooms.

yeah, the complexity and conundrum of trying to find meaning of our existence, feeling like youre on to something, but every time you go down that line of thought you find theres a dead end. I always came to an impasse as well. life is a paradox. And ive come to terms with it. And honestly, its a good thing. Think about the concept of whether or not god exists. If we knew, like actually had tangible evidence that we could see, hear, touch, that truly verified without any doubt that god did (or did not) exist; life would be less meaningful. The biggest mystery (or one of the biggest) would be gone completely from our existence. It would honestly change everyone in a different way and I do believe it would be for the worst. because that mystery in our life gives us so many options and more ideas in and more possibilities than it does in how we view ourselves and how we want to live. take it away and your options become limited. Just think, the more we learn about our world and universe, the more mysteries we solve, the fewer reasons we have to live. The more we know then the more predictable our lives would become. Our desire to live would be less, because the risk and mystery and probability iS the meaning to life. its the unknown that drives us.
@@yaze3316 im gonna have to disagree with you bro, if there is a God (I knoww there is one, the Source/YHWH/Jehovah/Brahman or whatever) I know that there is more to reality than the human experience, more capabilities of intelligent design than we can imagine. If there isn't one, then I know that I truly am the only master of my own reality, and that I find is still empowering. Unlike everyone else I want to know everything (I possibly can), I feel fulfilled by uncovering answers. That's just me, I respect if one wants to leave things as a mystery.
I was lucky enough to take over my father's electrical contracting company when I was 26. The company literally runs itself and, at 38 years old, I've had the time and the money these past 12 years to just enjoy life.

Im a schizophrenic. I do doordash for extra money. One order at night, i arrived and walked to the door, placed his food down and took a picture. I got in my car and drove away. 30 minutes later he called and asked where his food was, i totally remember taking the picture at his doorstep. So he took it up with Doordash. An order later, i opened my back door and.. saw his order. I was so confused why it was there. I remembered everything about going there and taking the picture. Appearantly i hallucinated the whole delivery. I was there, but must of never left the car. What was i doing then?? Staring blankly at the windshield? I called him and apologized but he already got his refund. I felt so terrible. Im on medication and nothing works. It just goes to show how easily some misfirings in the brain can completely alter your sense of reality.
Good stuff!! I’m probably going to watch every bit of this interesting content now. It’s probable that I’m going into this rabbit hole. The problem is that there’s only so much time and space to fit it in.😂
It's so sad that at the end of the day most of us will forget that we are supposed to live "right now". We are fragile and weak, so we cannot say: "I will do it later", because later may never come.
I have a strange paradox (I think) that I’ve been thinking about. What if the colours each of us individuals see are completely different to each other, and there’s no way to prove that not being the case. Maybe my blue is someone else’s yellow. When we learned the names of colours and what they looked like they were most likely labeled, so let’s say there is a yellow square with the word “yellow” on it, we all call it the same thing and notice the same thing yet it may look completely different
This is a pretty well known paradox. It's in line with "is my reality and my vision the same as yours". But given that we know how color blindness and eyes work I'd say change for that is very slim.
A similar paradox I’ve often pondered is how universal it is for all of us humans to have certain experiences - like lovesickness or homesickness or other strong feelings/connections. This ties us all together and it is sooo relatable. Yet the individual experiences are so unrelatable - like I would never feel at home in your home, or be in love with the person you are in love with … etc. in fact I might find it hard to imagine.
Amazing vid I knew a lot of it already - but nice to highlight it … 😊👍 love the sounds and cinematography and the philosophy / history lovely thank you. Will be watching again 👍☺️
1. The fear of flying in plane and meeting an accident more than getting killed in car accident or bike accident is because chances of if something happened in airplane means certain death while in car crashes and bike crashes people still survive if i lt comes to worst as amputed.
There are significantly more vehicles on the road, than planes in the sky, with many drivers and motorcyclists who, despite having passed their driving tests, lack proper vehicle-handling skills, as opposed to pilots who have undergone more rigorous training and assessment.
I find it paradoxical that when you're a skilled driver, the presence of a police car behind you can make you anxious and lead to poorer driving, ultimately resulting in being pulled over due to the initial nervousness about getting pulled over
About the shark thing: people on average spend much more time in the vicinity of dogs, vending machines, and hornets than they do around sharks. It would be interesting to see how they would compare when you include factors like this.
Slight correction at 39:40 The chance that in a group of people two of them share a birthday, are not the same as a specific person sharing a birthday with someone else. So in the coffee shop example, the chance that two people there share a birthday is indeed about 50% (assuming there are 23 people total). The chance someone shares a birthday with the girl is the sum of each other persons chance to have a birthday on that day (1/365) * 22 = 6%. So concluding that's quite unlikely is not a bad conclusion. Quite enjoying the video so far btw c:
This video is build that you can only understand it when you are completely baked, otherwise the constant topic change just throws you out faster than you gf when her parents arrive.
I read somewhere about the paradox paradox; That there are paradoxes, contradictory conditions that makes it impossible to escape the situation. The chance of becoming a billionaire is so small, or the chance of winning the lottery, but yet they exist and someone has to eventually win the lottery. Your single person's chance is so incredibly small that we usually round to zero. When applied to every person, there would a zero percent chance that anyone at all will win the lottery, but some person has to win. Any given person cannot win, thus extended, nobody can win, but someone must win.

The shark analogy is pretty bad math. It actually demonstrates the point you go on to make later, that twisting statistics without context allows you to say just about anything you want it to.
For one, the stunningly low probability you arrive at for shark attack is inaccurate if viewed without proper context.
There are numerous... infinitely more vending machines than sharks in the city, and far more dogs too. There are also more cars.
The probability of a shark attack would be vastly higher if you only looked at people who happened to be at the beach.
It would be astronomically higher if you only took into account swimmers who happen to see a shark.
Using stats in this way to reduce our worries is fine but we shouldn't use them to reduce credible threats to below the risk of a falling vending machine should we be in a position to be exposed to them
Also the probability of death on a motorcycle is certainly higher than that of a car, unless you're not accounting for the fact that there are many many more drivers than riders... And I'm fairly certain that if the chances of death in car was 1% every time you drive, nobody would want to drive at all... You'd clock 200 trips a year easy, making 1%a virtual certainly
Obviously the probability of a plane crash is low per trip. Just as the probability of a car crash is also low... PER TRIP. If you're comparing probability of death per flight with probability of death for the average driver who logs hundreds of trips a year for his lifetime... I'd say you're an airplane rep trying to sell flight tickets
Grey skies or sadness are equally… happiness …
I know I shouldn't be alive. I might fix that later
Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
You might increase your odds of being eaten by a shark. If you're out in the deep ocean.
And you're bleeding.😂
My favorite paradox is the Astley paradox. If you ask Rick Astley for his copy of the movie "Up", he can't give it to you because he will never give you up. However, in doing so, he lets you down. Thus creating the Astley paradox.

Genius
I’ve always wondered when people talk about the odds of being eaten by a shark… are they taking into account only the people that swim in the ocean or are they counting everyone in the world? Because I would imagine those are two VERY different statistics.
I mean.. how often are people eaten by a shark while grocery shopping?
Never have seen the stats for people who get eaten who are in the ocean ... Bet it's terrifying!
Fun fact, more people report being bitten on the face by fellow humans in NYC each year than are eaten by sharks globally .
Same i also wonder with the "you're more likely to die in a car accident vs plane" probably has something to do with the fact so many more people are driving on a daily basis than flying.
@@hirsutuscanis well there’s over 100k flights a day. While it’s nowhere near as many drivers, there’s still a significant number of reasons why it’s safer.
*Regulation and Standards:* The aviation industry is highly regulated, with strict safety standards set by aviation authorities. This ensures that aircraft, pilots, maintenance procedures, and airlines all adhere to rigorous safety protocols.
*Pilot Training and Experience:* Pilots undergo extensive training and simulations before they can operate commercial flights. They are trained to handle a wide range of situations, and their experience contributes to safe decision-making in complex scenarios.
*Maintenance:* Aircraft maintenance is meticulous and routine. Planes undergo regular inspections, repairs, and upgrades to ensure they remain in top condition. Strict maintenance schedules help identify and rectify potential issues before they become problems.
*Air Traffic Control:* Air traffic controllers manage and guide flights, ensuring safe separation and efficient routing of aircraft. This minimizes the risk of collisions and helps pilots navigate safely.
*Advanced Technology:* Aircraft are equipped with advanced navigation, communication, and safety systems that enhance situational awareness and aid in safe operations. These technologies are continuously evolving to further improve safety.
*Learning from Accidents:* The aviation industry closely studies accidents and incidents to identify root causes and implement corrective measures. This culture of learning from mistakes helps prevent similar issues in the future.
*Risk Management:* Airlines and aviation authorities actively manage risks associated with flying. This includes factors like weather, maintenance, pilot fatigue, and security. Procedures and protocols are in place to mitigate these risks.
*Crew Resource Management:* Flight crews are trained in effective communication and teamwork, which are crucial for handling emergencies and unexpected situations.
*Inherent Nature of Flight:* Flying at higher altitudes reduces the risk of collisions with obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles that can occur on roads. Additionally, the controlled environment of airports and airspaces contributes to safety.
Despite all this, I’m still scared of flying lol.

One paradox I believe in is when you're a good driver but then a police car gets behind you and that makes you nervous and drive poorly, then you get pulled over because you were nervous about getting pulled over.

My daughter went to Montessori elementary and they taught that instead of having a huge corner of toys or a room of toys for your child you should bring out 4 at a time for a few days and then rotate with another 4. It really works!… your child will play with them rather than letting them collect dust because of too many choices where it cancels all of them out👍🏼🌎☀️💙
Yes.
Fortnite does this well too, if you think about it.

But maybe the same 8 toys just keep rotating?

My favourite paradox is the Pringles paradox- they say that ‘once you pop, you can’t stop’ but they come with a resealable lid.

This is so peaceful to me for some reason. Honestly I’ve been listening to this on and off over the last few days. I listen while I’m taking a quick nap during my busy schedule. For some reason, it calms me down. It grounds me. I’m not sure the meaning of life. When I was a teenager I would have said Jesus. As a 31 year old man I don’t really have an answer anymore. Not knowing is scary and grounding all at the same time. And knowing other people feel like me is also comforting. Anyway. Thanks.

There is a fallacy early on in this video whereby it talks about sharks and the statistics of there being more chances of being killed by a dog but we keep them around etc and how this equals to how we are irrational creatures, not at all, this is a fallacy, let me explain.
It is absolutely crucial to look at exposure time to humans of the said species and than compare the number of attacks. we will quickly see the total human exposure to sharks vs dogs is 100 percent land slide win for dogs and than compare the number of attacks within that time and you will quickly find sharks are significantly more prone to attacks.
I think you got it right as a teenager, Jesus loves you❤️✝️

The odds of certain things happening to you depend on contributing factors. In the instance of being struck 7 times by lightning the likelihood for the average person is quite low but in the instance of the guy who was struck 7 times there were factors that made it much more likely. He had a job that had him working in open fields in an area where lightening storms are more prevalent. When it comes to shark attacks the odds are again quite low but if you’re an abalone diver or a surfer who surfs at a beach without shark nets and is the habitat known for sharks, such as Cottlesloe Beach Western Australia, the odds skyrocket. It all depends on the location and the frequency of exposure to danger with the likelihood occurring. It’s how insurance companies come up with the cost of premiums and how risk assessments are done in risk management.
Yup and that rational reasoning completely invalidates a nice chunk of what is elegantly delivered in this video.
well said!
that i think tells for some of it, but definitely not all. you could predict a lot with numbers and statistics. but i never much cared for statistics in school, that’s all they are, statistics.
sure if u swim in the ocean u have a higher likelihood to get eaten by a shark i guess, but i’ve lived at the beach my whole life and never met a soul who has.
some things can be concluded about being in the wrong place could make you more likely to get struck by lighting or eaten by a shark, but within that there’s so mathematical stability, no predictability.
Yes of course but I think the odds are mostly taking into account the fact that most likely anything else can happen then being attacked by a shark, bc for instance think about all the kids in the Midwest inner cities. A lot would most likely never die or be attacked by a shark orrr say plane crash bc they almost never leave their home town. Not to travel or ever even see the ocean. If that makes sense lol? I could be wrong but that’s my make of it
I was going to say the same thing. Statistics were taken out of context and averaged.
I used to work in a hospital as a care assistant. Towards the end of the covid pandemic i took care of a polish man who was 102 years old at the time, luckily he escaped poland a few weeks before the nazis occupied his home town he ended up in England and found work as an air craft maintenance engineer he asked if he could learn to fly a plane and his request was granted and eventually he ended up flying combat sorties over the channel, on his last sortie his plane was hit and began leaking fuel but luckily did not catch fire he had to ditch in the English channel but again luckily he was close enough to the shore that he was able to make it back and a local family who seen his plane go down from the beach ran to help him, very lucky guy, and at the age of 102 he walked with out a stick, could tie shoe laces could hear fine and only needed glasses for reading and managed to shrug off covid-19 with no need for oxygen therapy or anti virals i think he must be the luckiest guy i have ever met

People just want more of that quality. There’s nothing wrong with that. They haven’t said, “Hey, Aperture, please slop out many more scripts and make slopped out videos from them with sloppy editing.” It’s all a matter of people craving more of the quality that you speak of, not just quantity from Aperture just to have more from him to watch. Wanting more definitely doesn’t mean any one of us wants just anything in video form that has “Aperture” stamped on it. It’s the quality we want more of; not the quantity.

When you are observing someone in secret, dont look directly at them until shortly before you intend to take action. Look slightly to the side of them so you can still see them, but they are out of your focal point. If you look directly at someone, they will notice they are being watched.

There was a waterfall near us, such a lovely thin streak of water, like a thread but white and moving. It fell from a great height, but it looked quite low, and it was half a mile away, though it did not seem fifty paces. I loved to listen to it at night, but it was then that I became so restless. Sometimes I went and climbed the mountain and stood there in the midst of the tall pines, all alone in the terrible silence, with our little village in the distance, and the sky so blue, and the sun so bright, and an old ruined castle on the mountain-side, far away. I used to watch the line where earth and sky met, and longed to go and seek there the key of all mysteries, thinking that I might find there a new life, perhaps some great city where life should be grander and richer--and then it struck me that life may be grand enough even in a prison.

Fun fact about the 1:225 odds of writing a best seller; authors often buy a big amount of their own books as a marketing strategy in order to get labeled as a best seller.
The subject of less being better in regard to options/choices is so true. Any time I have a very large number of options to choose from in regard to anything, it overwhelms me to the point that I have a very difficult time choosing between the options. Any time I am in the store and I’m standing in the cereal aisle, men’s shampoo aisle, men’s stick deodorant section, condiment section, etc., etc., it absolutely overwhelms me and I just want to grab something adequate and pay for my selections and get out. After trying to weigh all the options by quality of product, taste or fragrance, and other attributes of whatever I’m trying to choose, I just get to a point where I stop caring so much about those attributes and just get foggy in my mind. That is when I finally give up and just, as I said before, grab something approximating the best for me and then I hurry to pay and leave so I can clear my mind.
Then I’m immediately met with the overwhelming amount of choices in regard to what restaurant I want to stop at and purchase food. So it just goes on and on and on.
When I was a child back in the very late 60’s and all through the 70’s, there definitely weren’t so many choices for all the different products that all of us need and buy, including food and clothing. This is why the HUGE big box stores exist now and they didn’t exist back then.
The world has drastically changed since the 60’s and 70’s and, of course, there are countless reasons why that is a good thing. More choices is always better because more choices means more abundance and more specialized resources and products are available to the masses. But there is a tipping point that we reached a long time ago on which the number of choices of most all products became overwhelming and disconcerting. A trip to the grocery store just isn’t what it used to be. The overabundance of choices is good in some ways and terrible in other ways, just as I said above and the video pointed out. So much is so stressful to have to deal with and even the simplest decisions have become very stressful and difficult because the number of choices is just too many.
I’m incredibly thankful that I live in a place where everything is abundant and there are MANY choices, but the tipping point was reached a long time ago and the stress level in so many people is such that it has caused the majority of people to lose their inner peace and they don’t even realize it.
Analysis paralysis almost destroyed my life. I couldn't make any choices regarding my career or education for a long time. Then I had kids, which forced me to get a job, any job ASAP, which cured my paralysis and things started going up for the first time.
I think you may be a bit neurotic if having choices actually stresses you out. It's nice to have an abundance of choices. Although It's a lot easier to shop when you already know what you want to purchase. So make your decisions on what you want to purchase while you're at home and it'll save you from the stress of having to choose from so many choices on the spot. It'll also keep you from impulsive purchases that you may regret.

Just do your research on a product and don't be lazy; you'll know what to choose. Better than the socialist bread lines in the country I was born in.
It's not "neurosis", it's normal human psychology.
One of the first realizations that hit me young was my mortality. My life was finite. I had my first existential crisis when I was 3. I didn't want to waste one second yet everything felt like a waste of time. I cried in school because I was wasting my life. I didn't want to work. I couldn't stand waiting or being patient. I always multitasked. I never wanted to delay gratification or be anything when I grew up. I've never been happy because my life is limited. Nothing has ever been worth work or effort. I never related to anyone. Just lived my life in a panic. It's unfortunate that my life has been pretty crappy ever since I knew I would die. I've never been able to really live.
I can completely relate! Except that I was more like age 7..I even recall the bone chilling tingle because it first happened during 2nd grade class.
I can only imagine how mind-blowing all this is to people who have not been exposed to this kind of expanive pondering before.

Loved this.
Reminded me intensely of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior which was my favorite book as a kid. The "House Rules" were Paradox, Humor, and Change.
Thank you for making a wonderful video.😊
This truly is one of the most beautiful videos ive seen on this platform, thank you
One paradox I never hear anyone talk about is the saying "there's an exception to every rule." That phrase is also a rule, therefore there must an exception to it. So then there is a rule without exception, which means there can't be an exception to every rule. The same applies if you say "nothing is true" or "everything is false"
Our fears of something are rational though, for instance, in the video you said you’re more likely to get killed by a dog than you are a shark, but that’s because the ratio of humans around dogs and humans around sharks are drastically different. Ratios have many factors, you’re only considering one side.
Well said.
You’re misunderstanding statistics and probabilities.
So say you have 1 in 100 chance of dying to a bee sting. That doesn’t mean there is a 1 in 100 chance of dying to a bee sting during your daily life. That’s out of 100 bee stings, an average of 1 will typically kill you.
I don’t feel like getting the exact numbers he used but if he said you have a 1/10 chance to die by dog and a 1/100 chance to die by shark, that doesn’t mean you’re more likely to die by a dog during your day to day life. That means if you were attacked by a dog, one out of every 10 attacks has a chance to kill you. For the sharks it would be 1/100 attacks would kill you.
By default the statists are excluding people who don’t encounter the things he’s giving odds on. Saying you have a higher chance of dying by dog has nothing to do with the amount of people who come into contact with dogs.
@@TheSCPStudio thats nonsense. the numbers alone make that impossible. there is no way to have a chance of 1 in a million when there have not even been a million incidents of whatever that probability is assigned to. there have barely been any commercial plane crashes, but almost all of them have been fatal for all or most people on the plane, and the total number of people being subjected to a plane crash is small.
probability alone means nothing, it requires tons or dependent variables to be checked and this, along with the methodology, needs to be carefully documented and logically analysed for inductive reasoning to have any meaning. you could make studies that "prove" anything, no matter how absurd, just by controlling the sample group and by determining correlating variables that logically do not correlate, and leaving the important ones out. thats one of the ways how academia manages to lie effortlessly.
This is honestly one of the thought provoking videos ive ever seen. Thank you for this. Its really eye opening
I had a small piece of paper under my desk mat in my room in 6th grade that read, “if you want peace, prepare for war.” because of a history teacher I had. I learned that quote and that’s the only thing I remember from that class.

I believe that paradoxes in nature are currently the most logical place to study if we want to progress our understanding of the universe. They haunt every field consistently, fields which are not always consistent or compatible with each other besides their share of unwanted paradoxes.
a paradox just indicates a logical error. there are no paradoxes, if you find one, your premise or setup is false. paradoxes come about by confusing language or false assumptions, which lead to false expectations.
Please do a video on the Backwards Law, this is something that I often find myself wondering about and it would be awesome to see your take on it!
I belong here with you. This type of content makes me feel happy. Because there are still decent amounts of people that value the meaninglessness of life and the abstract lives we live...
That meaninglessness is a gift. The ambiguity of reality allows us to project our own meaning and purpose, the ultimate "sandbox" game. The freewill we experience, even if limited, is another gift, which allows us to choose that meaning. The illusion of Freewill is paradoxically, the only possible expression of it, and can therefore be treated as true.
@@TheMoopMonster what's interesting is free will is actually pretty limited physically. The human body is pretty fragile. But, we have so much influence on our mind. We can perceive the world however we want even if it's not an accurate representation of reality
to be fair though, if I lived in the sea with a pet shark, instead of living in a house with a pet dog, my chances of being killed by a shark compared to my chances of being killed by a dog might get reversed
If you were in an area where there are sharks and went into the ocean for 8 hrs a day everyday compared to living in an area that has dangerous dogs around and you were outside for 8 hours everyday I think the chances of dying from a shark is more likely because of the damage it could inflict?
@@chriswise7978 I really don't know. I've seen some pretty horrendous injuries dogs have caused. I also know that sharks don't actually like eating people and tend to only bite people by mistake when they mistake a human for animal they actually like eating. So neither sharks nor dogs are quite as we see them.
I know I wouldn't trust a shark like I trust dogs, but I don't know what the actual factual comparison would be between the 2
@@gabeangel8104 I was bitten by a shark back in February. I can send you pics of my foot after the bite if you would like
@@chriswise7978 I don't doubt it was awful and I'm sorry you went through such a horrific and terrifying thing. I'm sorry if it came across as if I was belittling the horror of shark bites. That wasn't my intention. I only meant to say that we generally tend to assume that dogs are pretty harmless, or at least incapable of serious damage, and that sharks are cold blooded killers at any opportunity and, from a purely factual point of view, neither of those assumptions are true. From factual information I have heard, sharks don't intentionally attack humans, they mistake us for something else like a seal, but that doesn't mean the bites are any less devastating when they do bite so I apologize if I came across as insensitive.

Live your life and don't take it too seriously. Don't compare your experience with anyone else's. We exist like the blink of an eye. Everything matters but the paradox is that simultaneously, nothing really matters.
Edit: my personal philosophy is that life isn't about me. And it never has been. It's collective in nature and while we are granted to be here, we need to be good.
Only a very small percentage of people actually do anything to induce progress in our species.
no thats postmodern marxist bullshit. you should take life seriously, you should take yourself seriously, and everything matters. and you should live life to serve a greater purpose in order to give your life a meaning.
"@Joe Black , one episode normally takes my team 2-3 weeks to make. We have researchers, writers and editors." Funny how we all think it is easy and straight forward, this is why i like Aperture, it's incredible

The options paradox is really relatable to me as a gamer. When I have so many games installed, I want to play everything til I end up not playing anything at all. Compared to when I only have a few games installed I tend to focus on them and finish them quicker
The problem with these probabilities you give is it depends on your lifestyle. If i surf everyday, I am more likely to be attacked by a shark because I put myself in that situation. If i never enter the ocean in my life then there is an extremely small percentage chance that I ever get attacked/killed by a shark. Same with lighting, if i spend all day in my house my chances are lowered. How is one going to accurately measure these probabilities.
This is true, but when you take your data points from as many lifestyles as possible and average them, the statistics generated are generally still relevant to the average person, and understanding people as a whole.
This is called conditionnal probability

In Finding Nemo, Marlin loses his son. He is caught by a fisherman uh or a scientist and he's like taken away on a boat and the point of the movie is that we're trying to find Nemo. That's what Marlin wants to find. His son. Now the problem here is that Marlin doesn't know how to find his son but he just knows Beyond The Shred of a doubt that he's going to find his son because he's a dad and he lost his only son. So his whole life he knows for a fact, his heart and his mind have come into Union, they've both agreed that 100% we're going to find our son but I don't know how. So this is the same for you with your goal. You want something 100% for sure without a doubt but I don't know how I'm going to get it. That's okay normally you don't have to know how to get something. All you need to know is the first step.
This is exactly how reality creation works. You hold your goal (P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney) in your mind and then you trust that the universe is going to take you there in its own mysterious way.
Trust the universe that it's going to bring you to your goal but you won't know how. On the surface it's going to seem like everything is falling apart but once you look back you're going to say oh I actually needed to go through that failure because now I'm successful but I couldn't have been successful without that failure.
You say oh this is going to bring me to my goal and you just kind of affirm to yourself that the Universe looks out for me and that the universe is on my team and is helping me manifest what I want. You want to be like Dory. You want to have radical trust in the universe and you want to hold in your mind your vision. That's why she keeps repeating P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney over and over again. Hold your vision in mind and trust that whatever happens you're gonna be brought there. That's how you create your reality using your imagination.
Go after your goal in the same way that you go to get the post from the letterbox.
Stop imagining the post to be a problem and simply put one foot in front of the other in the direction of the letterbox.
Any goal you have if you can think and feel about it the same way as you do when you go to get your post from the mailbox then it's a done deal.

I really liked the breakdown of how much of our 79-ish years of life are actually ours to enjoy... especially the last bit about multitasking meals with friends or enjoying a book or podcast on your commute and finding a career and friend group you actually enjoy.
I'm 43 years old, I moved across 9 states last year, I'm placing my mom in a care home due to dementia and my inability to care for her at home alone after doing so for 18 years, I'm quitting 12 yrars at a job I hate with lazy, incompetent coworkers and taking a risk in a different industry, I have found a new friend group I really like and we go out twice a week (and many of them already work at my new workplace) I've struggled with depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation for over 35 years, but I'm finally feeling that my life is improving.
So, long story short, I'm hoping to salvage at least a few of the 36-ish years I have left by enjoying my life more instead of thinking the only escape from my misery is taking the "final exit"
I had this terrible fear that as those years were all being subtracted that at some point it would cross the zero point and I would find that my life had actually gone into negative years and that I had never really existed [:- (

yeah, the complexity and conundrum of trying to find meaning of our existence, feeling like youre on to something, but every time you go down that line of thought you find theres a dead end. I always came to an impasse as well. life is a paradox. And ive come to terms with it. And honestly, its a good thing. Think about the concept of whether or not god exists. If we knew, like actually had tangible evidence that we could see, hear, touch, that truly verified without any doubt that god did (or did not) exist; life would be less meaningful. The biggest mystery (or one of the biggest) would be gone completely from our existence. It would honestly change everyone in a different way and I do believe it would be for the worst. because that mystery in our life gives us so many options and more ideas in and more possibilities than it does in how we view ourselves and how we want to live. take it away and your options become limited.
Just think, the more we learn about our world and universe, the more mysteries we solve, the fewer reasons we have to live. The more we know then the more predictable our lives would become. Our desire to live would be less, because the risk and mystery and probability iS the meaning to life. its the unknown that drives us.

The company literally runs itself and, at 38 years old, I've had the time and the money these past 12 years to just enjoy life. I know just how lucky I am and I'm extremely grateful because I was utterly miserable going into work every day. I felt like I was just watching my life go by.
12:31 i did NOT expect to see heejin here
the odds of a random loona jumpscare in every video is 1 in 3 🤪
i was about to comment this, lmaooo
For the Alien Paradox, my physics teacher said, that maybe aliens have been here and just said we aren’t worth it, not intelligent enough. Who said we have to notice when highly developed beings come by? I mean there could be way more intelligent beings than us
Im a schizophrenic. I do doordash for extra money. One order at night, i arrived and walked to the door, placed his food down and took a picture. I got in my car and drove away. 30 minutes later he called and asked where his food was, i totally remember taking the picture at his doorstep. So he took it up with Doordash. An order later, i opened my back door and.. saw his order. I was so confused why it was there. I remembered everything about going there and taking the picture. Appearantly i hallucinated the whole delivery. I was there, but must of never left the car. What was i doing then?? Staring blankly at the windshield?
I called him and apologized but he already got his refund. I felt so terrible. Im on medication and nothing works. It just goes to show how easily some misfirings in the brain can completely alter your sense of reality.
Good stuff!!
I’m probably going to watch every bit of this interesting content now. It’s probable that I’m going into this rabbit hole. The problem is that there’s only so much time and space to fit it in.😂
Is it possible to understand this much about life and no be depressed?
It's so sad that at the end of the day most of us will forget that we are supposed to live "right now". We are fragile and weak, so we cannot say: "I will do it later", because later may never come.
I have a strange paradox (I think) that I’ve been thinking about. What if the colours each of us individuals see are completely different to each other, and there’s no way to prove that not being the case. Maybe my blue is someone else’s yellow. When we learned the names of colours and what they looked like they were most likely labeled, so let’s say there is a yellow square with the word “yellow” on it, we all call it the same thing and notice the same thing yet it may look completely different
This is a pretty well known paradox. It's in line with "is my reality and my vision the same as yours".
But given that we know how color blindness and eyes work I'd say change for that is very slim.
I’ve thought of this too! 😂
I've found my people
A similar paradox I’ve often pondered is how universal it is for all of us humans to have certain experiences - like lovesickness or homesickness or other strong feelings/connections. This ties us all together and it is sooo relatable.
Yet the individual experiences are so unrelatable - like I would never feel at home in your home, or be in love with the person you are in love with … etc. in fact I might find it hard to imagine.
This is the concept of inverted qualia/inverted spectrum.
Amazing vid
I knew a lot of it already - but nice to highlight it … 😊👍
love the sounds and cinematography and the philosophy / history lovely thank you.
Will be watching again 👍☺️
well ur pretty bloody smart aren’t u
As an ex amateur Thai boxer and now making a transition to MMA I know very well of this law of the paradox.
1. The fear of flying in plane and meeting an accident more than getting killed in car accident or bike accident is because chances of if something happened in airplane means certain death while in car crashes and bike crashes people still survive if i lt comes to worst as amputed.
There are significantly more vehicles on the road, than planes in the sky, with many drivers and motorcyclists who, despite having passed their driving tests, lack proper vehicle-handling skills, as opposed to pilots who have undergone more rigorous training and assessment.
I find it paradoxical that when you're a skilled driver, the presence of a police car behind you can make you anxious and lead to poorer driving, ultimately resulting in being pulled over due to the initial nervousness about getting pulled over
Copying comments again?
About the shark thing: people on average spend much more time in the vicinity of dogs, vending machines, and hornets than they do around sharks. It would be interesting to see how they would compare when you include factors like this.
Slight correction at 39:40
The chance that in a group of people two of them share a birthday, are not the same as a specific person sharing a birthday with someone else.
So in the coffee shop example, the chance that two people there share a birthday is indeed about 50% (assuming there are 23 people total). The chance someone shares a birthday with the girl is the sum of each other persons chance to have a birthday on that day (1/365) * 22 = 6%. So concluding that's quite unlikely is not a bad conclusion.
Quite enjoying the video so far btw c:
I loved this video the only thing I suggest you change is add time stamps with the name of each paradox but overall very informative video ❤
This video is build that you can only understand it when you are completely baked, otherwise the constant topic change just throws you out faster than you gf when her parents arrive.
Man the first section made me cry
The real question is…how many people are killed by vending machines while swimming in the ocean?
137 peoples
How many people have also been killed by a shark that's on land
I read somewhere about the paradox paradox; That there are paradoxes, contradictory conditions that makes it impossible to escape the situation. The chance of becoming a billionaire is so small, or the chance of winning the lottery, but yet they exist and someone has to eventually win the lottery. Your single person's chance is so incredibly small that we usually round to zero. When applied to every person, there would a zero percent chance that anyone at all will win the lottery, but some person has to win. Any given person cannot win, thus extended, nobody can win, but someone must win.
